Got this idea recently with the Romulan guns and the Reman shield. Why can't we have different space weaponry where different races have different attributes?


For example:

Romulan Disruptor Array would be slower firing, but have greater impact.
Klingon disruptors are the norm.
Orion Disruptors are weaker, but with faster firing rates.

will any of them be discriminatory?

cause, if so, I'll have to get my legal dept. involved.

I kinda think this would be a cool idea for some rare or unique items. You could probably add some visual effects to the weapons too, like energy flares to some of the beams, that way you could know what people are trying to hit you with.

Yes, probably.

Dying to a Romulan weapon has a 100 % higher proc to adding insult to injury for a Klingon.

How so?
Does the weapon transmit a message seconds before the warp core goes off?
" Your ridges are flat and lifeless" BOOOOM!!!!!:p


Though, I too would like to see some level of racial "specialties" in the different factional weapon technologies.
As it is right now a disruptor is a disruptor is a disruptor regardless who is using it.
Possibly a faction needs a bonus towards using technologies designed by their own faction?

Let me explain it in form of a(nother) joke:
A Romulan beats a Klingon warrior in a honorable fight.

lol- ok, I get it.
Sort of losing to a Pakled in a game of wits.

Okay, but back to the real topic.

I don't think it makes much sense - the weapons are are already linked to specific races, so it seems redundant. Also, this would create new balance considerations.

What I would argue for is, should it ever come to the addition of additionl factions, that the respective races should get a skill tree that is adjusted for their favored weapon choice - e.g. Romulans have Plasma Torpedoes as Tier 3 skill, and the Dominion has Polarons as their Tier 3 skill.

What about a male and female version then

The male weeapons are are look clunky and make a horrable sound, when fired and are all "quite usless", if the motion comes to action

Female weapons are all sleak and lean, but real killer's, with a touch of pink

Sorry, cound resist :p

I always thought the Romulans should have hybrid Plasma/Disruptor weapons because alot of Trek lore has has them using a combination of plasma weapons and disruptors.
